More quotes by Leonard Ravenhill
The self-sufficient does not pray, the self-satisfied will not pray, the self-righteous cannot pray. No man is greater than his prayer life.
Leonard Ravenhill
This life is a dressing room for eternity - THAT'S ALL IT IS!
Leonard Ravenhill
If weak in prayer we are weak everywhere.
Leonard Ravenhill
Our spiritual immutarity never shows up more than in our lack of praying, be it alone or in a church prayer meeting. Let 20% of the chior members fail to turn up for rehearsal and the chior master is offended. Let 20% of the church members turn up for a prayer meeting, and the pastor is elated.
Leonard Ravenhill
If the whole church goes off into deception, that will in no way excuse us for not following Christ.
Leonard Ravenhill
The darker it gets, the brighter your light will shine.
Leonard Ravenhill
If you kneel before God, you will stand before men.
Leonard Ravenhill
Would we send our daughters off to have sex if it would benefit our country? Yet, we send our sons off to kill when we think it would benefit our country!
Leonard Ravenhill
The longer I live, the more I find I don't know
Leonard Ravenhill
Notice, we never pray for folks we gossip about, and we never gossip about the folk for whom we pray! For prayer is a great deterrent.
Leonard Ravenhill
Why in God's name do you expect to be accepted everywhere? How is it the world couldn't get on with the holiest man that ever lived, and it can get on with you and me?
Leonard Ravenhill
We Christians are debtors to all men at all times in all places, but we are so smug to the lostness of men. We've been 'living in Laodicea,' lax, loose, lustful, and lazy. Why is there this criminal indifference to the lostness of men? Our condemnation is that we know how to live better than we are living.
Leonard Ravenhill
Books on prayer are good, but not good enough. As books on cooking are good but hopeless unless there is food to work on, so with prayer. One can read a library of prayer books and not be one whit more powerful in prayer. We must learn to pray, and we must pray to learn to pray.
Leonard Ravenhill
God has to work in a man before He can work through a man.
Leonard Ravenhill
It may be that Satan has little cause to fear most preaching. Yet past experiences sting him to rally all his infernal army to fight against God's people praying.
Leonard Ravenhill
Thou shalt call his name Jesus. He shall save his people from their sins.
Leonard Ravenhill
This silly world outside thinks it is finished with Jesus Christ but they haven't even started with Him yet.
Leonard Ravenhill
When there's something in the Bible that churches don't like, they call it 'legalism.'
Leonard Ravenhill
Some preachers master thier subjects some subjects master the preacher once in awhile one meets a preacher who is both master of, and also mastered by his subject. The apostle Paul, I am sure, was in that category.
Leonard Ravenhill
One of these days some simple soul will pick up the Book of God, read it, and believe it. Then the rest of us will be embarrassed.
